Hcy increases pSTAT3 expression in mitochondria. (A,B) Fluorescence immunohistochemistry for pSTAT3 and COX IV (a mitochondrial marker) 24 h following MCAO injury. Representative images of the mitochondrial marker COX IV (red) and STAT3 (green) staining in the DG region of the rat hippocampus and the cerebral ischemic cortex. Overlays demonstrate the colocalization of pSTAT3 and COX IV. Scale bars = 50 µm. (C,D) Quantitative assessment of pSTAT3/COX IV positive cells in the rat brain hippocampus and the cortex (n = 6/group, 10 fields/brain). (E) Representative western blot for pSTAT3. Bar graphs show semiquantitative levels of pSTAT3 as determined by band density analysis. n = 5 per group. *P < 0.05. The entire of membrane pictures of Fig. 4E were presented in the Supplementary Fig. S4.
